Colorado is traditionally a democratic state, even though in the 2004 presidential election incumbent President George W. Bush was able to eke out the barest victory against John Kerry with a 51.69% over 47.02% vote. It has been shown that counties of Ouray and Jefferson were indicative of the democrats failure to woo voters, but if Hillary Clinton ha her way, these two may be in the bag! Heavily reliant on infrastructure and construction work, the former First Lady's promise of establishing several building initiatives might earn her the endorsement of local leaders and the undying support of not only the labor unions involved in the construction industry but also the independent construction business owners.
On the USA Election Polls site the interested voter learns that Hillary Clinton is head and shoulder ahead of Barack Obama with hr 39% versus his 22% as indicated in 07-17-07 American Research Group poll taken in Colorado.
No surprisingly, her pledge to institute emergency building initiatives that would help to fix ailing bridges, buildings, and roads riddled with pot holes has not fallen on deaf ears. Similarly, the notion that she seeks to build up the nation is a very welcome idea to those whose livelihood depends on the creation of a wide array of building projects. At this point in time Mrs. Clinton is pledging to create a $10 billion emergency repair fund that will bankroll the repair projects currently put on hold due to under-funding. Will this be sufficient to allow Coloradoans to once again vote democrat in 2008?
